Social Media Video Tells AP Dhillon’s With You Is Inspired By Tum Mil Gaye

There are a few songs that strike a chord with the masses and instantly become a hit. One recent song that possessed this ability was With You by AP Dhillon. Apart from its quirk beats, the alleged dating rumours between AP and Banita Sandhu also added fuel to the fire. However, the song is now in the news for other reasons. Recently, a surprising comparison has captivated music enthusiasts worldwide, as AP Dhillon’s latest hit found itself in the spotlight. This song has drawn intriguing parallels to an old Pakistani classic, Tum Mil Gaye, by the renowned band Vital Signs. This unexpected connection has sparked conversations and nostalgia among listeners, leading to a viral sensation on Instagram.

The Viral Comparison

The comparisons between With You and Tum Mil Gaye were initiated by an observant Instagram user who posted a video on her account. This video cleverly juxtaposed the opening melodies of both songs, inviting listeners to compare the two intros. In her caption, she playfully wrote, “Unlocked a core memory. Tell me I’m not alone.” This post quickly gained traction and became viral on Instagram, drawing attention from music enthusiasts and fans of both songs.

Nostalgia and Discussions

The comments section of the viral post filled up rapidly with individuals expressing similar sentiments and sharing their experiences with the songs. Some listeners were struck by the uncanny resemblance, with one user recounting how their mother instantly recognised the similarity, exclaiming, “That’s a Junaid Jamshed song!” Others expressed gratitude, as the comparison helped them identify the source of their musical déjà vu. It’s evident that the comparison resonated with many, rekindling fond memories and discussions about these two melodious tracks.

Tum Mil Gaye and Its Enduring Impact

The undeniable similarity between the opening chords of AP Dhillon’s With You and Tum Mil Gaye is undeniable. The chord progression shares a striking likeness, evoking a sense of familiarity among listeners. However, it’s crucial to recognise that a chord progression, while significant in a song’s structure, is just one element in the vast palette of musical composition. While these two tracks share this melodic fragment, it doesn’t necessarily imply that AP Dhillon intentionally replicated it.

The Complex Nature of Musical Inspiration

Musical inspiration is often a complex and subtle process. Artists draw from a multitude of sources, experiences, and emotions when crafting their work. It’s entirely plausible that the particular chord progression in question inadvertently found its way into With You, without any direct intention to replicate or pay homage to Tum Mil Gaye. Music is a continuously evolving art form, and artists frequently explore similar melodic territories, sometimes arriving at comparable destinations by chance rather than design.

Impact of Timeless Classics

The comparison between AP Dhillon’s With You and Tum Mil Gaye has also led to discussions about the enduring impact of timeless classics like Vital Signs’ song. Commenters have nostalgically remarked on the band’s significance, with one user stating, “OMG! Vital Signs were incredible and way ahead of their time.” This sentiment highlights the enduring power of music to transcend time and borders, leaving an indelible mark on listeners across generations.

Trending on Instagram

Moreover, the viral sensation has not been limited to discussions alone. It has inspired a trend on Instagram, where users are recreating their versions of the comparison video. Some have taken a humorous approach, creating funny mashups, others have created their own versions of With You. 

Whether or not the similarity between AP Dhillon’s With You and Vital’s Tum Mil Gaye is intentional or unintentional, the similarity is truly uncanny. While we let the music maestro’s sort that out, we really hope and pray for artists and their talent to flourish.
